  • Patent number: 12254727
    Abstract: A wireless transmitter for controlling a barrier operator includes at least one processor, an actuator, and a memory storing instructions. When executed by the at least one processor, the instructions cause the at least one processor to transmit a first data packet configured to initiate actuation of the barrier operator on a first channel and transmit the first data packet on a second channel. The transmission on the first channel may be performed in response to a first actuation of the actuator and the transmission on the second channel may be performed in response to a second actuation of the actuator. Alternatively, both transmissions may be performed in response to a single actuation of the actuator but switching from the first channel to the second channel may be performed in response to a passive input signal.

  • Patent number: 12231941
    Abstract: A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) may operate in a dual connectivity (DC) context. While in a RRC_INACTIVE state, the WTRU may receive a paging message from a first cell, which may be associated with a master cell group (MCG). The paging message may indicate that the WTRU is to respond to the paging message on another cell. Also, or alternatively, the paging message may indicate that data for the WTRU is available on an SCG bearer. The WTRU may select a second cell (e.g., a cell other than the first cell) from a secondary cell group (SCG) list, which may include one or more secondary cells. The WTRU may initiate a random access channel procedure with the second cell based on receiving the paging message from the first cell. The WTRU may receive data from the second cell via the SCG bearer while in the RRC_INACTIVE state.

  • Patent number: 12207350
    Abstract: A 5th-Generation (5G) cellular communication device may at times be used with a legacy subscriber identifier module (SIM) that does not support 5G subscriber identity privacy features. To obtain a subscriber identifier for authentication, the device attempts to obtain or generate a concealed subscriber identifier with the support of the current SIM. If this is not possible, as may be the case with legacy, non-5G SIMs, the device determines whether the home network specified by the SIM is the network of the provisioning operator. If so, the device obtains an unconcealed subscriber identifier from the SIM, encrypts it with the provisioned home network key, and uses the resulting concealed subscriber identifier for authentication. If the home network specified by the SIM is a network other than that of the provisioning network operator, the device obtains the unconcealed subscriber identifier from the SIM and uses it for authentication.

  • Patent number: 12199662
    Abstract: Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology exploits modulated coded impulses over a wide frequency spectrum with very low power over a short distance for digital data transmission. Today's leading edge modulated sinusoidal wave wireless communication standards and systems achieve power efficiencies of 50 nJ/bit employing narrowband signaling schemes and traditional RF transceiver architectures. However, such designs severely limit the achievable energy efficiency, especially at lower data rates such as below 1 Mbps. Further, it is important that peak power consumption is supportable by common battery or energy harvesting technologies and long term power consumption neither leads to limited battery lifetimes or an inability for alternate energy sources to sustain them. Accordingly, it would be beneficial for next generation applications to exploit inventive transceiver structures and communication schemes in order to achieve the sub nJ per bit energy efficiencies required by next generation applications.

  • Patent number: 12058717
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for receiving resource allocation information by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. Channel state information (CSI) is transmitted to a first base station. The resource allocation information indicating resources for a first zone to the UE is received from the first base station, when the UE enters the first zone among a plurality of zones within a cell coverage of the first base station. Additional resource allocation information indicating additional resources for a second zone are received from a second base station, if it is estimated that the UE might enter the second zone among the plurality of zones based on a status of the second zone and a moving direction of the UE. The additional resources are received in response to a message, transmitted from the first base station, to the second base station, requesting the additional resources.

  • Patent number: 12047107
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application disclose a communication apparatus. The communication apparatus may include a first transceiver, a second transceiver, and a power amplifier. The first transceiver and the second transceiver may be separately connected to the power amplifier. In this way, when it is determined that a network load is relatively low, any transceiver in the communication apparatus may be turned off. Because the turned-off transceiver no longer continues to generate power consumption, power consumption of the entire communication apparatus is reduced, to achieve an energy saving effect. In addition, when an electronic component in the communication apparatus is turned off, the power amplifier may not be turned off, and the power amplifier may still receive a corresponding radio frequency signal from a transceiver that is not turned off, to perform power amplification and send a corresponding radio frequency signal.
